I find inspiration from Biblical texts, such as this painting’s title from Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day: I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life!” I find healing and hope and enjoy the process of transferring my feelings into a piece of art that will evoke the same.

Finding solace in the mystical verse 3:11 of Ecclesiastes, I put together broken, overlooked, commonplace, and discarded pieces to make a new thing. Of course, I added my own “stuff” to the mix. I like to think my re-creation embodies that verse: “God has made everthing fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.”

Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, drawing and painting became my way of expressing emotions and telling stories when words fell short. Over the years, my passion for creating has grown into a meaningful practice—one that allows me to explore both the world around me and my inner landscape.

I specialize in drawing and painting, often focusing on pieces that carry emotional depth and a strong personal connection. Each work reflects not only my skill and technique, but also the years I’ve dedicated to developing my artistic voice.

For me, art isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifelong passion and a form of expression that continues to evolve. Whether through bold color, delicate lines, or abstract emotion, I aim to create pieces that resonate with others and invite them to feel something real.

The original form of communication is through facial expressions. This grouping of facial fragments represents a group of people communicating the “old fashioned way”. What are they thinking? Can you tell from their expression? Each piece was modeled from a real person’s face. I used a photo reference to be as faithful as possible to the individual.

When hearing the word survivor, I immediately think of those who have gone through a physical trauma. One so gut wrenching that they can’t even begin to express what they have experienced. Luckily, I’ve had never experienced a major catastrophe or had to battle for my life nor considered myself a survivor until I look back at the years I have missed having my only son taken from my life in a blink of an eye.

Sean volunteered to serve in the Iraq War. We made it thru that…when I say “we” made it, myself & all his friends, family, and loved ones.

Nothing could prepare me for the loss I would feel, when at the age of 43, I (we) lost him forever. He died of a sudden, unexpected heart attack. No hospital visits, no last words, no final hug.

Until recently, I had never considered myself a survivor…10 years later, I have come to the realization that I too am a survivor.

I am a mixed media contemporary surrealism artist. I incorporate paper, oil, acrylic,house, and spray paint in my art. I juxtapose real and implied texture with organic forms creating a very unique style. The choice of materials is dictated by the effects I want to achieve. I mostly paint figurative forms; my figures represent no particular person or personality, but are composites of people I have met, resulting simultaneously in familiar, yet strange, and often mysterious, images. I typically prefer my forms to remain ambiguous and dimly lit to keep them from being representative of a certain person or identifiable figure. My art is an expression of my experiences, emotions, inspirations, and stories, things that are personal to me, yet relatable to others.

My work is influenced by two major factors: When I was a teenager, my brother tried to committee suicide. With therapy he was able to gain strength. This new found strength led him into becoming a therapist, allowing him to share his wisdom from his personal experience to his clients. As a high school teacher my school lost students through suicide. I always wished I was able to know of their struggles and be able to sit with them and tell them that what they were experiencing was just a speed bump in life. I wished I could have held their hand and told them I would be there to help them get through it. I always tried to make myself available to all my students. I don’t know how many times I had conversations about their life, helping them through their struggles. This experience influenced my art.

I focus on exploring womanhood, celebrating female strength and wisdom. Many of my women have some type of headdress that casts a shadow over their eyes. The headdress symbolizes the challenges of life. Even obstacles that interfere with life goals, when viewed retrospectively, are part of the beauty of life. The shadows of the eyes reflect the darkness and despair created by challenges, and the headdresses reflect the strength gained when looking back on the challenges. The birds and other animals in my work illustrate the freedom that is achieved after going through life struggles. “I paint to nourish the human soul”.

In December 2021 she got the courage to do as her painting teacher taught her, to paint her way out of challenging circumstances. She kept her mental illness a secret due to her shame until February 2022 when she had her first solo show titled “Paint Your Way Out”, which allowed Kimber to share her new lease in life, pride of her recovery, and best of all her new paintings. Kimber has continued her trademark of painting with her hands and prefers to create spontaneously on canvas, as freely as a child.

After earning a degree in Studio Art from Emmanuel College in Boston, I spent many years in the home furnishings industry, where I developed a keen sense of color, texture, and design.

I suffer from Complex PTSD, resulting from my childhood trauma. I have used therapy, Codependents Anonymous, and the book “Complex PTSD” by Pete Walker to learn more about my myself and my mental illness, in order to better deal with the emotional flashbacks that are a part of this illness. Although I believe I am getting better, I continue to be hit with emotional flashbacks that cause total despair and knock me to my knees. Sometimes, it takes days to come back from the abandonment depression and suicidal ideation that accompany the flashback. I often use art to work through my emotions. I hope that by sharing these pieces others might not feel so alone.

Sometimes, it takes days to come back from the abandonment depression and suicidal ideation that accompany the flashback. I often use art to work through my emotions. I hope that by sharing these pieces others might not feel so alone.

Rachel Barlow is an artist who creates to express what words cannot hold. Her process is deeply personal and often private, making sharing her work a vulnerable act. Rachel works with collage for its intuitive and immediate nature. Rachel’s life and art are shaped by personal experience with mental illness and addiction, including the loss of her father to suicide in 2008. Sixteen years later, she found the courage to connect with other survivors of suicide loss—finding safety and meaning in the creative process.

Through the Black Hole into Life
Multimedia art with acrylic paint and clay
NFS

You can see this work in person at the Mood Room.

This artwork explores the inner journey of healing through the lens of mental health. A swirling black hole symbolizes emotional collapse – depression, anxiety, trauma – but instead of destruction, it becomes a portal of transformation. Emerging from it is a rainbow stream representing both emotional complexity and the alignment of the seven chakras, reflecting a holistic path to wellness.

The central figure, formed of roots and branches, evokes the Tree of Life — a symbol of growth, grounding, and resilience. Nearby, a luminous feminine figure cradles a silver orb near her core. She is not pregnant in the literal sense, but instead holds space for inner healing. The orb represents the silent emotional weight many carry and the quiet strength needed to transform pain into light.

Across the canvas, starseeds – glowing star-like forms – signify sensitive, intuitive souls navigating the world differently. In the context of mental health, they honor the insight, sensitivity, and strength found in those with emotional depth.

The moonlit sky above reflects support, reflection, and the vast inner universe within each of us.

Through the Black Hole into Life is a visual story of struggle, growth, and awakening. It honors the invisible labor of healing and the powerful emergence of light from emotional darkness.

Sometimes (I Can Be An Island)
NFS

My artwork “Sometimes (I Can Be An Island)” was created for my son’s single release, which was a song written for Mental Health Week. I wanted to convey the feeling of being lost at sea, a theme consistent throughout the lyrics, and the image of a boat on troubled water was striking to me. I used glass beads and grit to enhance the texture of the waves; to give the artwork a three-dimensional quality – it is very much intended to be seen in person! In contrast to this, my award-winning “Becalmed” artwork was created as part of series of art pieces that explored calmness and tranquility. I envisaged these pieces to be as therapeutic as they are artistic and invoke serenity within the viewer. The use of color is calming, with my intention to use rich watercolor purples to draw eye towards to the horizon and into the painting. “Moonlight Sonata in Blue” was inspired by the famous Beethoven piece. I found the dreamlike quality of music captivating and I wanted to capture this through my visual art, portraying two dancers at the center of the artwork to represent eternal hope and companionship.

I am a northern female artist, based on a farm on the moors above Bolton. I enjoy painting the natural world and after a long break of 20 years, I picked up the paintbrush again shortly after my father died 6 years ago. I opened my gallery, The Barn Studio Gallery, last year.

Le Chat-Les Typos du Mal
NFS

Le Chat (Les Typos du Mal) by Monira Sophan de Cuadra (digital art). “New tribute to the Flowers of Evil by Baudelaire (Les Fleurs du Mal in French) with my typographic series Types of Evil that I created in 2006. Almost 20 years later, I decided to create a new piece of this collection where Baudelaire expresses his fascination for the cat. Cats are famous to be independent and arrogant, but their purr can soothed your stress and even illness. This poem is both paradoxical and magnificent as it illustrates the beauty and the danger of this little feline. Human’s mind can also be beautiful and dangerous especially with mental issues. Everything is dichotomy.” To see more of Monira’s artwork, visit her website and Instagram.

$700

“Tragic,” was created after Barbie passed away. People often say that tragedy brings lessons or growth, but I don’t think every pain has to be meaningful. Losing the one I loved most didn’t teach me anything—it just hurt. In this piece, I covered myself in gold leaf. Not as a symbol of enlightenment, but to express that any “golden lesson” gained feels unnecessary without him.

“2PM,” captures one of the most difficult afternoons of my life. I had just testified against my abusive husband. I was alone in a foreign country, diagnosed with asthma, and emotionally withdrawn. I stopped picking up calls.
That moment, lying on my bed, feeling detached from everything—Barbie was the only one beside me. He was the sole witness to what I was surviving.

“Rescue,” is often misunderstood. People say I rescued Barbie from the street. But the truth is, he rescued me. He was my light when everything around me was gray. In the midst of what felt like a tsunami, drowning in fear and uncertainty, Barbie was the one who broke my fears. We survived together.

These works are not just portraits—they are records of loss, survival, and a love that saved me.

My son Jeff died of suicide at the age of 23. For me the grief of losing a child can never be adequately expressed in words so I use art as the language of my soul.  Jeff is always the angel on my shoulder inspiring me.

I find great joy and grounding in creating art, particularly through fluid art forms such as suminagashi and marbling. These techniques involve dropping ink or paint onto water and swirling them to create unique patterns, which are then captured on paper. I find the repetitive and meditative nature of this process incredibly helpful for slowing down and relaxing. For me, art is creative and expressive self care.
